Field Notes and Gleanings

Six persons were baptized by Elder Fred Johnson recently at Sebeka, Minn.
Three new converts have recently been added to the church at Royalton, Wis., where Elder T. G. Lewis has been holding meetings.
Elder S. B. Whitney reports the baptism of five persons at Saranac Lake, N. Y., on June 28. This addition to the church at that place has been a great encouragement to them.
A church of twelve members has been organized at Pine Bluff, Ark., where last year there were but two persons keeping the Sabbath. Elder J. W. Dancer has been in charge of the work at that place.
The Wisconsin Reporter of July 8 announces the fact that in the Wisconsin Conference, summer schools for church-school teachers are now in session at Clear Lake, Bear Lake, Raymond, Bethel, Merrill, Oneida, Grand Rapids, and Almond.
The clerk of the Columbus, Ohio, Seventh-day Adventist church reports the baptism of four persons at that place on June 20 who have united with the Columbus church. Six others are keeping the Sabbath, and expect to join the church later.
Elder W. W. Stebbins recently organized a new church at Iron River, Wis., the membership being composed almost wholly of new Sabbath-keepers, who came into the truth under the labors of Elders S. F. Shadel and P. C. Hanson last winter.
Elder W. M. Healey in a report to the Pacific Union Recorder, says: “Sabbath, June 6, I baptized six of the older pupils of the Escondido church-school. I have reason to believe that the school did much toward bringing these young people to take their stand on the Lord’s side.”
Elder L. L. French, reporting the work in Roanoke, Va., states that eight new converts to the faith have joined the church at that place since last fall. Among these are two young men, who have gone into the canvassing work, and expect soon to enter one of our schools to prepare for the ministry.
Elders Meade MacGuire and E. E. Farnsworth have been holding a series of meetings in Boulder, Colo., as a result of which twenty-nine persons have been baptized and united with that church. These, with other recent baptisms, make thirty-five additions to that church by baptism during the one month.
The work done at Alexander, Tex., by the opponents of the message has resulted in a number taking their stand for the truth. Meetings were being conducted in the place by Elder G. A. Lagrone, when ministers of other denominations were invited to hold opposition meetings, with an idea of preventing any favorable results of Brother Lagrone’s work. The results, however, again prove the truth of the statement that “we can do nothing against the truth but for the truth.”
Elder William Guthrie reports the baptism of six persons at Hopewell Cape, Nova Scotia, on a recent Sunday.
Elder C. H. Miller reports the baptism of five persons at Tekamah, Neb., one at Calhoun, and four at Platte Center.
Elder W. H. Thurston reports three new Sabbath-keepers near Waterville, Quebec, another at Fitch Bay, and two at Montreal.
At the Melrose (Cal.) camp-meeting, June 4-14, there were 2,475 copies of Liberty sold. Let other conferences do the same at their camp-meetings.
The president of the Mississippi Conference reports that they have four tents in the field this season, two for the white and two for the colored people.
As a result of meetings conducted by Elder M. H. Gregory at Lincoln, Ark., four converts to the faith have been baptized, and others are on the point of deciding.
The church at Cedar Grove, Tex., has more than doubled in membership in the last three years. Elder E. B. Hopkins reports the recent baptism of four persons at that place.
The Columbia Union Visitor reports the baptism of four persons at Columbus, Ohio, and states that six more who are keeping the Sabbath there are expecting soon to go forward in this ordinance.
Elder C. Leer reports that the little company at Rosehill, N. D., consisting of six persons, has recently been increased to twenty-nine as a result of a series of special meetings held at that place.
Five adults have begun the observance of the Sabbath at Hawarden, Iowa, where Brethren L. P. Syp and Ross Syp have been holding meetings. Indications are good for further additions to the faith at that place.
